MM control arms are
a true ‘A’ -arm rather than a ‘V’-arm. This provides maximum rigidity and
equalizes forces delivered into the K-member.
MM control arms are
gusseted in critical areas to ensure that the entire control arm will bend
in an accident before a weld ever breaks.
MM control arms
allow a tighter turning radius by allowing the tires to steer at a greater
angle than the stock control arms.
Available with
either urethane or Delrin bushings. Urethane bushings are much smaller and
stiffer than stock control arm bushings to provide increased responsiveness
with minimum noise. Delrin bushings have zero deflection for competition,
and have a marginal increase in ride harshness and noise compared to
urethane bushings.
There are two
geometries available; zero-offset (stock geometry) or forward-offset. The
zero-offset geometry has the same relationship between the ball joint and
the control arm pivots as the stock control arms. The forward-offset
geometry version moves the ball joint forward 3/4”. When combined with the
MM K-Member, this will move the wheels forward 1-1/2" (some fender-opening
modifications may be required).

 | Stock Ford control
arms weigh 14-3/4 lbs. each. The MM control arms weigh 8 lbs. each.
|
| The MM control
arms can be installed on a stock K-Member, or on most other aftermarket
K-Members which accept stock control arms (some modifications are required
to a stock K member).
|
| The MM control
arms can only be used with a coil-over conversion kit; they do not allow
the installation of springs in the stock location.
|
| The 1994 and newer
control arms can be used on the 1979-93 cars for an increase in track
width. Significant fender modifications are required. |
